More From James Russell Lowell

Now the heart is so full that a drop overfills it, we are happy now because god so wills it; no matter how barren the past may have been, 't is enough for us now that the leaves are green; we sit in the warm shade and feel right well how the sap creeps up and the blossoms swell... the breeze comes whispering in our ear, that dandelions are blossoming near... every thing is upward striving; 't is as easy now for the heart to be true as for grass to be green or skies to be blue, - 't is the natural way of living.

We walked on the beach, fed blue corn ships to the seagulls, and munched on blue jelly beans, blue saltwater taffy and all the other free samples my mom brought home from work. i guess i should explain the blue food. see, gabe had once told my mom there was no such thing. they had this fight, which seemed like a really small thing at the time. but ever since, my mom went out of her way to eat blue. she baked blue birthday cakes. she mixed blueberry smoothies. she bought blue-corn tortilla chips and brought home blue candy from the shop.

And talking about dark! you think dark is just one color, but it ain't. there're five or six kinds of black. some silky, some woolly. some just empty. some like fingers. and it don't stay still, it moves and changes from one kind of black to another. saying something is pitch black is like saying something is green. what kind of green? green like my bottles? green like a grasshopper? green like a cucumber, lettuce, or green like the sky is just before it breaks loose to storm? well, night black is the same way. may as well be a rainbow.

Blue is the insides of something mysterious and lonely. i'd look at fish and birds, thinking the sky and water colored them. the first abyss is blue. an artist must go beyond the mercy of satin or water-from a gutty hue to that which is close to royal purple. all seasons and blossoms inbetween. lavender. theatrical and outrageous electric. almost gray. true and false blue. water and oil. the gas jet breathing in oblivion. the unstruck match. the blue of absence. the blue of deep presence. the insides of something perfect.
Lonely Thinking Artist
The fields are snowbound no longer; there are little blue lakes and flags of tenderest green. the snow has been caught up into the sky- so many white clouds-and the blue of the sky is cold. now the sun walks in the forest, he touches the bows and stems with his golden fingers; they shiver, and wake from slumber. over the barren branches he shakes his yellow curls. yet is the forest full of the sound of tears.... a wind dances over the fields. shrill and clear the sound of her waking laughter, yet the little blue lakes tremble and the flags of tenderest green bend and quiver.

Nature, at all events, humanly speaking, is manifestly very fond of color; for she has made nothing without it. her skies are blue; her fields, green; her waters vary with her skies; her animals, vegetables, minerals, are all colored. she paints a great any of them in apparently superfluous hues, as if to show the dullest eye how she loves color.

Beware the politically obsessed. they are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures; there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. it leaves them somehow misshapen.
